You need to be careful as the rate with which hardwoods gain weight in sealer does not (in my experience) seem constant. They tend to gain faster with time.

That's good to know I have a little margin for error on the low end.
I remembered an old post of yours with the batch of darters on fire in the snow. Which is why I made sure to log weight before sealer and check periodically, Just yanked them too early.
